#美联储重启降息步伐 Five years ago, a buddy of mine came to me with $20,000 and said he wouldn’t go home until he’d made enough for a house.
What happened? He got the direction wrong twice and his account went to zero. He only came to me when he couldn’t take it anymore. Three years later, his account is now stably in the seven figures, and he’s a completely different person.
I’ve taken my own hits too. In the early years, I blew up accounts, got scammed by shady platforms, and lost so much that there were only a few thousand left in my bank. I gritted my teeth and pushed through, and only after learning some bloody lessons did my account start to grow.
All of this is experience paid for with real money:
First: After a rapid surge followed by a slow grind down, it’s usually the main players accumulating. It might look fierce but it’s just a façade—when it really tops out, there will be a big bearish candle with high volume.
Second: Don’t rush to buy the bounce after a crash. Big players love to give you a little sweetener, making you think “here’s my chance.”
Third: High volume at the top isn’t scary. No volume at the top is. If there’s volume, money is still fighting it out—when the volume dries up, that’s when you really need to run.
Fourth: Volume at the bottom only matters if it’s sustained. One or two days of spikes don’t mean a reversal—you need several days of real money coming in.
The rules of the market don’t change; people do. Some get trapped chasing highs out of FOMO, some get buried trying to catch the bottom out of greed. It’s not that you’re not working hard—it’s that your method and direction were wrong from the start. $BTC $ETH $BNB

To be honest, I've heard this theory several times, but very few can actually put it into practice.

That’s too harsh. My buddy is still chasing the top, and I just can’t talk him out of it.
The “no volume at the top” rule is spot on. I’ve fallen into that trap too many times.
From $20,000 to seven figures, really? How many losses does it take to truly understand?
Anyone who’s been liquidated knows that feeling. Now when I look at these patterns, they’re all written in blood.
Continuous volume at the bottom—gotta write that down so I don’t get cut again.

Seriously, if you're heading in the wrong direction, no amount of effort will help. I have people like this around me too—those who stubbornly chase the top and refuse to change, and they're still stuck holding the bag.

Only after losing badly three times did I realize that chasing highs is just giving money to the big players.
Now, watching the trading volume is even more telling than looking at candlesticks—a rally without volume is just a paper tiger.
That guy went from zero to seven figures, basically because he admitted defeat and stopped fantasizing.

To be honest, this theory feels a bit familiar, but there are very few people who can actually put it into practice.
